“Serena, don’t forget your promise to me that you will mow (割) Mrs Matin’s yard this weekend,” said Dad, “Don’t let me down.” Serena was the oldest child in the family, and one of her chores was to mow their yard. Mrs Martin, their elderly neighbor, was unable to take care of her yard, so Serena’s dad had volunteered Serena for this job. Since Mrs Martin’s yard was not very big, Serena knew the job would go quickly.
However, she still resented her dad’s promise.

“I try when I can,” Dad answered.
“Serena, we have known Mrs Martin for a very long time. She has often helped our family. Now we can do something for her. Besides, the feeling you get from helping someone makes you wonder who is really helping whom.”
“I don’t know, Dad,” said Serena. “The only feeling I get from mowing our yard is tired.”
“Just you wait and see,” said Dad.
After breakfast, Serena made her way to Mrs Martin’s yard. She was good at her job and soon had Mrs Martin’s yard looking tidy. Mrs Martin came outside with a big glass of orange juice and offered it to her. Serena stopped her work and gratefully enjoyed the drink, while Mrs.Martin talked to her about all of the flowers in her yard. Seeing the joy in Mrs Martin’s eyes, Serena began to understand how much the yard meant to Mrs. Martin.

The New Year is a time for celebrations for almost everyone around the world. In Britain, people go to pubs and nightclubs to dance the old year away, and to welcome in the new one at midnight. Everyone wants to kiss someone special (boyfriend, girlfriend or even a complete stranger! ) as the bells ring out at midnight.
In recent years, street parties have become more popular. Hundreds or even thousands of people gather in squares, main streets or on the river banks to listen to bands playing and to see fabulous fireworks displays.
For people who stay at home, most watch special, live New Year shows on TV and countdown, along with the presenters, from 10 to 1 as the last seconds of the old year tick away and the bells of the New Year are rung.
In Scotland, on New Year’s Eve, people visit their neighbours and drink, dance and generally have a good time. If you’re invited to a Scottish home, it’s important to know what to bring with you: a lump of coal, some shortbread and some whisky.
The coal shows warmth so you’re wishing that the people you visit will have enough heat in the coming year. The shortbread represents food, so you’re hoping that the people will have enough to eat in the New Year. Some Scots call whisky “the water of life”, so when you hand over your bottle to your hosts, it means you want them to have enough to drink over the next 12 months.
There’s one more key task you still have to perform if you can. The first person to knock on a neighbour’s door is supposed to be a tall, dark, handsome man. If you are, you’ll bring good luck to the household. But what if that’s not you Well, don’t ring the bell just yet. Wait a while and the right person will turn up soon!

Every year in May, art galleries and museums prepare shows to honour Leonardo da Vinci, who died in France on May 2, 1519. He is remembered as one of the greatest artists and the most creative thinkers of all time. His most famous paintings are Mona Lisa and The Last Supper.
Recently, researchers have been studying a painting-Landscupe 8P, which they think is Leonardo’s earliest-known artwork. They used special lighting to study the artwork and discovered there were two images(图像), not one. One drawing is on the back of the piece, which dates back to August 5,1473.
The drawing on the front was painted when Leonardo was 21 years old. It shows a river valley and a castle outside the city of Florence. There is little left of the drawing on the back, perhaps because it was wiped off. Only a bridge over a river can be seen. But there is writing on both sides.
The writing on the front gives the date and goes from right to left. Some people would call this “mirror writing”. It’s a way Leonardo often wrote in his notebooks. The writing on the back goes from left to right and tells an agreement probably to produce a work of art.
Cecilia Frosinini is an art historian. She said, “By looking at his writing, including that from this drawing, we can see his right-handed handwriting is educated and well done.”
Experts compared the two handwriting samples(样本)and said they were both made by Leonardo. They show he could write well using his left hand or his right hand.
The drawing is known as Landscape 8P from its number in an art list. It is part of an exhibit at Italy’s Uffizi Gallery. The gallery-director, Eike Schmidt, said by studying the drawing researchers gave us a new way of looking at Leonardo’s drawing technique and his abilities in writing.
12. Which of the following mentioned in the text has been studied by researchers recently
A. Mona Lisa. B. Landscape 8P.
C. Mirror-writing. D. The Last Supper.
13. What does the writing on the back probably show
A. A statement about the painting.
B. An introduction about Leonardo.
C. An agreement to produce a painting.
D. Something about the city of Florence.
14. What can we learn about Leonardo from the researchers’ study
A. He could write with either of his hands.
B. He did badly in right-handed handwriting.
C. He wasn’t good at writing with his left hand.
D. He taught himself to write with his right hand.
15. What’s Eike Schmidt’s attitude towards the research
A. Unclear. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.

Dottie's Thanksgiving Dinner
Dottie, a puppy, knew today was special. It was Thanksgiving and everyone was getting ready for a big dinner. The doorbell kept ringing as cousins, grandparents, uncles and aunts all came to visit.
Amazing smells were coming from the kitchen Dottie was not allowed to be in the kitchen today. Mom said that she would get in the way. Dad said she would lick (舔) everything she could reach. They were both right.
The children had been asked to keep the dog out of the way. They did, at first. However, once their cousins arrived, they forgot about Dottie and started playing with each other. The dog got closer and closer to the kitchen. Everything smelled so good! On the edge of the table was a plate filled with slices of ham (火腿) . Before she had a chance to eat it, Dad saw her.
“No! Leave that alone, Dottie! No food for you,” he said. Then he let the dog out into the yard where some family members were playing football. Dottie smiled. This was good! She liked running. She grabbed (抓住) the football from a small boy and wouldn’t give it back. He started to cry, and Dottie got in trouble.
“That's enough, Dottie,” said Uncle Bill, taking the ball away from her. “Maybe you should go back in.” He opened the door again, and the sad puppy went inside.
The puppy went into the dining room and no one was there. Dottie went under the table. The tablecloth was so long that it hung down to the ground. This was a good place for a sleep, she thought.
In the kitchen, everything was ready. Mom and Dad began carrying big bowls and plates of delicious food into the dining room. “Before we get started, we should take a family picture,” suggested Mom. Dad agreed. They went to tell everyone to go outside for a Thanksgiving photo together.
Dottie's nose woke up before she did. She came out from under the table. She looked around. The house was empty. She remembered what Dad had said. “No food for you.” He was wrong.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Oh, YES, food for me!” Dottie thought, excitedly.

Everyone wants to kiss someone special (boyfriend, girlfriend or even a complete stranger! ) as the bells ring out at midnight.“新年几乎是全世界每个人庆祝的日子。在英国,人们去酒吧和夜总会跳新年舞,在午夜迎接新年的到来。每个人都想亲吻某个特别的人(男朋友,女朋友,甚至是一个完全陌生的人!)当午夜钟声响起的时候。根据第四段In Scotland, on New Year’s Eve, people visit their neighbours and drink, dance and generally have a good time. 在苏格兰,人们在新年前夕拜访邻居,喝酒、跳舞,通常都过得很愉快”本文主要介绍了英国庆祝新年的活动方式。着重介绍了苏格兰新年的庆祝方式。所以短文最佳标题为“苏格兰新年的庆祝方式”。故选B。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段In recent years, street parties have become more popular. Hundreds or even thousands of people gather in squares, main streets or on the river banks to listen to bands playing and to see fabulous fireworks displays.“近年来,街头派对越来越受欢迎。成百上千的人聚集在广场、主要街道或河岸上,听乐队演奏,看精彩的烟花表演。”由此判断出可知, 人们会在公共场合燃放烟花以示庆祝。故选C。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中If you’re invited to a Scottish home, it’s important to know what to bring with you: a lump of coal, some shortbread and some whisky.“如果你被邀请去苏格兰人家做客,一定要知道带什么东西:一块煤、一些酥饼和一些威士忌。”和第五段中The shortbread represents food, so you’re hoping that the people will have enough to eat in the New Year. Some Scots call whisky “the water of life”, so when you hand over your bottle to your hosts, it means you want them to have enough to drink over the next 12 months.“酥饼代表食物,所以你希望人们在新的一年里有足够的食物。有些苏格兰人把威士忌称为“生命之水”,所以当你把酒瓶递给主人时,这意味着你希望他们在未来12个月里有足够的酒喝。”由此可知, 到苏格兰人家里的拜访者要带着一些东西, 这些东西都代表着拜访者美好的祝愿和祝福。故选C。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段,The first person to knock on a neighbour’s door is supposed to be a tall, dark, handsome man.可知, 第一个敲邻居门的人应该是一个高大、黝黑、英俊的男人。所以等一会儿这个高大、黝黑、英俊的男人就会出现。故划线词为“ 高大、黝黑、英俊的男人”。故选B。
【点睛】做推理判断题时,做此类试题要善于抓住某一段话中的关键信息,即某些关键词或短语去分析、推理、判断,利用逆向思维或正面推理,从而推断出这句话所隐含的深层含义。本题第2小题,根据第二段In recent years, street parties have become more popular. Hundreds or even thousands of people gather in squares, main streets or on the river banks to listen to bands playing and to see fabulous fireworks displays.“近年来,街头派对越来越受欢迎。成百上千的人聚集在广场、主要街道或河岸上,听乐队演奏,看精彩的烟花表演。”由此判断出, 人们会在公共场合燃放烟花以示庆祝。故选C。
D
Every year in May, art galleries and museums prepare shows to honour Leonardo da Vinci, who died in France on May 2, 1519. He is remembered as one of the greatest artists and the most creative thinkers of all time. His most famous paintings are Mona Lisa and The Last Supper.
Recently, researchers have been studying a painting-Landscupe 8P, which they think is Leonardo’s earliest-known artwork. They used special lighting to study the artwork and discovered there were two images(图像), not one. One drawing is on the back of the piece, which dates back to August 5,1473.
The drawing on the front was painted when Leonardo was 21 years old. It shows a river valley and a castle outside the city of Florence. There is little left of the drawing on the back, perhaps because it was wiped off. Only a bridge over a river can be seen. But there is writing on both sides.
The writing on the front gives the date and goes from right to left. Some people would call this “mirror writing”. It’s a way Leonardo often wrote in his notebooks. The writing on the back goes from left to right and tells an agreement, probably to produce a work of art.
Cecilia Frosinini is an art historian. She said, “By looking at his writing, including that from this drawing, we can see his right-handed handwriting is educated and well done.”
Experts compared the two handwriting samples(样本)and said they were both made by Leonardo. They show he could write well using his left hand or his right hand.
The drawing is known as Landscape 8P from its number in an art list. It is part of an exhibit at Italy’s Uffizi Gallery. The gallery-director, Eike Schmidt, said by studying the drawing researchers gave us a new way of looking at Leonardo’s drawing technique and his abilities in writing.
12. Which of the following mentioned in the text has been studied by researchers recently
A. Mona Lisa. B. Landscape 8P.
C. Mirror-writing. D. The Last Supper.
13. What does the writing on the back probably show
A. A statement about the painting.
B. An introduction about Leonardo.
C. An agreement to produce a painting.
D. Something about the city of Florence.
14. What can we learn about Leonardo from the researchers’ study
A. He could write with either of his hands.
B. He did badly in right-handed handwriting.
C. He wasn’t good at writing with his left hand.
D. He taught himself to write with his right hand.
15. What’s Eike Schmidt’s attitude towards the research
A. Unclear. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究人员最近对列奥纳多·达·芬奇的一幅早期作品《风景8P》进行的研究,发现这幅画有两个图像,前面的图像是列奥纳多21岁时画的,后面的图像是1473年8月5日画的,上面有一段文字,可能是一份制作艺术品的协议。研究人员还比较了列奥纳多的两个手写样本,发现他能用左手或右手写字。这幅画现在在意大利乌菲兹美术馆展出。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Recently, researchers have been studying a painting-Landscupe 8P, which they think is Leonardo’s earliest-known artwork.(最近,研究人员一直在研究一幅画——Landscape 8P,他们认为这是列奥纳多最早的作品。)”可知,最近研究者们研究的是Landscape 8P。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第四段中“The writing on the back goes from left to right and tells an agreement, probably to produce a work of art.(背面的文字从左到右,表达了一种协议,可能是为了制作一件艺术品。)”可知,背面的文字可能是一份制作一幅画的协议。故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Experts compared the two handwriting samples(样本)and said they were both made by Leonardo. They show he could write well using his left hand or his right hand.(专家们比较了两份笔迹样本,认为它们都是达芬奇的笔迹。它们表明他可以用左手或右手写得很好。)”可知,研究者们通过研究发现,达芬奇左手或右手都可以写的很好。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The gallery-director, Eike Schmidt, said by studying the drawing researchers gave us a new way of looking at Leonardo’s drawing technique and his abilities in writing. (美术馆馆长Eike Schmidt说,通过研究这些画作,研究人员为我们提供了一种新的方式来研究达·芬奇的绘画技巧和写作能力。)”可知,Eike Schmidt认为,这项研究提供了一种新的方式来研究达·芬奇的绘画技巧和写作能力,故他对该研究的态度是积极的。故选D。

【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:最后,Tony帮助Claire赢得了胜利,让那些像格拉迪斯这样的女士羡慕不已,Claire爱上了Tony——一个机器人!分析句子,envy意为“妒忌”,此处表示Claire是被其他的女士所妒忌,故使用不定式的被动结构,即使用envy的过去分词。故填envied。
【45题详解】
考查动词。句意:同上。分析句子,设空处使用动词作谓语,此处表示动作发生在过去,故使用一般过去时。故填fell。

Dottie's Thanksgiving Dinner
Dottie, a puppy, knew today was special. It was Thanksgiving and everyone was getting ready for a big dinner. The doorbell kept ringing as cousins, grandparents, uncles and aunts all came to visit.
Amazing smells were coming from the kitchen. Dottie was not allowed to be in the kitchen today. Mom said that she would get in the way. Dad said she would lick (舔) everything she could reach. They were both right.
The children had been asked to keep the dog out of the way. They did, at first. However, once their cousins arrived, they forgot about Dottie and started playing with each other. The dog got closer and closer to the kitchen. Everything smelled so good! On the edge of the table was a plate filled with slices of ham (火腿) . Before she had a chance to eat it, Dad saw her.
“No! Leave that alone, Dottie! No food for you,” he said. Then he let the dog out into the yard where some family members were playing football. Dottie smiled. This was good! She liked running. She grabbed (抓住) the football from a small boy and wouldn’t give it back. He started to cry, and Dottie got in trouble.
“That's enough, Dottie,” said Uncle Bill, taking the ball away from her. “Maybe you should go back in.” He opened the door again, and the sad puppy went inside.
The puppy went into the dining room and no one was there. Dottie went under the table. The tablecloth was so long that it hung down to the ground. This was a good place for a sleep, she thought.
In the kitchen, everything was ready. Mom and Dad began carrying big bowls and plates of delicious food into the dining room. “Before we get started, we should take a family picture,” suggested Mom. Dad agreed. They went to tell everyone to go outside for a Thanksgiving photo together.
Dottie's nose woke up before she did. She came out from under the table. She looked around. The house was empty. She remembered what Dad had said. “No food for you.” He was wrong.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“Oh, YES, food for me!” Dottie thought, excitedly.

【答案】“Oh, YES, food for me!” Dottie thought, excitedly. She sniffed each plate first and then decided to taste the turkey first because it was Thanksgiving. After a lick, she wanted more. She wolfed down a turkey leg within a minute. So satisfied was she that she believed it was the best thing she had ever eaten. She continued to took a bite of the others one by one. “This is the best day in my life. I have never been so happy!” Dottie thought.
“Oh my goodness!” said Mom. She immediately rushed out to call other family members to have a look. Everyone was shocked at the mess on the table. Almost each dish had been spoiled and some was splattered all over the table. At the same time, Dottie stopped and became well-behaved when she saw people’s helpless look, realizing she might have brought disaster. Mom couldn’t accept it and ran upstairs, sobbing. Just then, Dad said soothingly, “Luckily, we still have food delivery service. Let’s try a special Thanksgiving dinner.”
